About this trial
The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAVI using the Hydra transcatheter aortic valve (THV) series, in patients with severe aortic stenosis up to 1-year after the procedure. Additionally, the study will assess the role of geometry in the development of new conduction abnormalities based on the analysis of post-operative CT scan at 1-month in patients who had undergone transcatheter aortic valve replacement with a self-expanding Hydra THV series.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥ 18 years
Patients affected by severe aortic stenosis (NYHA class ≥ II) eligible for TAVI procedure as per local Heart Team evaluation
Full understanding and willing to provide informed consent to study enrolment
Disqualifiers
Contraindications to TAVI (e.g., anatomically phenotypes, intracardiac mass, thrombus, vegetation, endocarditis)
Refusal to provide informed consent to study enrolment
Patients with severe aorta or peripheral artery disease precluding transfemoral approach of TAVI
Patients with calcification on the annulus and in the Left Ventricular Outflow Tract (LVOT), or/and excess calcium within each cusp, or those who are deemed unsuitable for the Hydra THV series based on the clinical judgment of the Investigator
Trial population
Patient with severe aortic valve stenosis

Treatments tested in this trial
Hydra Transcatheter Aortic Valve (THV) Series
DeviceThe Hydra device consists of a self-expanding nitinol frame and three bovine pericardial leaflets in supra-annular position.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Primary safety endpoint
Early safety as defined by VARC-3, as composite of: * Freedom from all-cause mortality; * Freedom from all stroke; * Freedom from VARC 3 type 3-4 bleeding; * Freedom from major vascular, access-related, or cardiac structural complication; * Freedom from acute kidney injury stage 3 or 4; * Freedom from moderate or severe aortic regurgitation; * Freedom from new permanent pacemaker due to procedure-related conduction abnormalities; * Freedom from surgery or intervention related to the device.
Primary performance endpoint
Device success as defined by VARC-3, as composite of: * Technical success; * Freedom from mortality; * Freedom from surgery or intervention related to the device or to a major vascular or access related or cardiac structural complication; * Intended performance of the valve (mean gradient \<20mmHg, peak velocity \<3 m/s, Doppler velocity index ≥0.25, and less than moderate aortic regurgitation).
